A major crash at Scott Street and Hadley Street early Saturday morning adds to an alarming pattern of collisions at this intersection. The crash happened at 1:44 AM on June 6, and responding officers found a scene that reflects a broader problem: this intersection has recorded 41 crashes in the past 30 days alone, according to LocalTrafficAccidents.com data.
The intersection sits in a corridor with a troubling history. Over the past 90 days, 146 total crashes have occurred here—59 of them major—along with one fatal crash. In the past 12 months, the intersection has logged 189 crashes, 83 major, and 3 fatalities. The data shows this is not an isolated incident but part of a pattern that has persisted for months.
Per TxDOT CRIS public crash records, the contributing factor most commonly recorded by investigating officers at this location is "Failed To Control Speed," cited in 434 crashes since January 2020. Over that same period, state records show 1,076 total crashes within approximately a quarter-mile of this intersection, with 6 fatalities.
The timing of Saturday's crash is notable. While crashes at this location occur throughout the day and night, the single busiest hour is between midnight and 1 AM, when 10 crashes have been recorded in the past month—a concentration that mirrors early-morning traffic patterns and reduced visibility conditions.
Conditions at the time were overcast and 78 degrees—clear enough in terms of precipitation, but darkness and cloud cover at that hour may have reduced visibility for drivers navigating this intersection. The incident was cleared following standard response procedures, though no specific lane closure or traffic duration data is currently available.
According to LTA's proprietary database, 79 crashes were recorded within a three-quarters of a mile of this location in the 30 days before this incident. That count underscores the sustained pressure on this area of the roadway.
The intersection remains open to traffic, but drivers approaching Scott Street and Hadley Street should exercise caution, especially during overnight and early-morning hours when visibility is reduced and the collision rate peaks.
